Boston Haul: H&M and Urban Outfitters

1:52 PM

I'm back from my trip to Boston and I must say, I had a really amazing time there! I haven't taken a proper vacation in years so it was a great relief to fly out somewhere with my friend Hannah and just eat really good food and, of course, SHOP! :D

Because I haven't ever been to an H&M and I had heard so much about how they have plenty to choose from in small sizes (I wear the smaller-fit size 2 there) I fully expected to haul quite a lot and luckily I wasn't disappointed.

I didn't take many pics but I did snap this one in the fitting room of the navy dress while I was trying it on. I think I might get it hemmed shorter. What do you think?

I also posted pics onto my Twitter of my curiously blue-heavy haul here. Pretty weird for me. Nothing pink and lots of blue? I think the New England air was getting to me. ;)

Sadly, H&M doesn't have an online store yet (rumors say it will come out in 2012) but I will be anxiously awaiting for its arrival. So far my experiences with the store have been quite good. I made about 3 trips there while in Boston. ^_^

I still have quite a lot of footage from the actual trip to go through, so I'll be posting a little vlogging clip with cameos from sexy friends very soon, and hopefully also a "what's in my luggage" video. I also have a hair tutorial that I recorded right before this haul vid of my casual up-do since I got so many requests when I wore it the last few times here and here.

Now I am on a mission to do some major Spring cleaning. I already gathered a bunch of beauty and makeup products to donate to a local women's shelter (half a big box! eep!) and I need to get rid of lots of clothes because, for some reason, my wardrobe is trying to tell me to dress like a lady. What the heck is up with that?

I've been reading Jean's blog and I saw your visit appearance for Loft crochet dresses, so I'm kind of entertained that you mentioned her in your video!

Great stuff.

I tried that blue dress on, and apparently I am NOT a size 2, but more like a size 4 or 6 at H&M, because of my BOOBS. BOO. I was really angry because the size 2 was the only one left and it fit perfectly around my waist. I almost cried. It was so pretty, and would've been perfect for my very bad day.

Oh I love h&m. I recently bought a few cute tops from there! Including a super cute sheer lace crop top! :)Love their stuff it really does fit well! Altho im surprised you fit into a 4! You're so small! :) (that's a compliment)great haul!

haha the bat is cute. : ) I can't wait to see the rest of your videos! I loved everything you got. Amazing how we have similar taste in clothing! I wouldn't want to shop with you because we'd be fighting for the same size AND styles ; ) LOL Kidding!

I tried on the skater dress too but different print I think...the one I tried was more zebra looking. Anyhows, the 4 was too tight on me and there was no other ones left. I also wanted the lace boho dress but the only one left was a size 10. Ahhhh!

hihi! i love your tutorial but am not sure which one to choose for the Lioele bb cream as there are two diff kind. so can u suggest to me which is better between Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream & Lioele Triple Beyond Solution BBcream SPF30 pa++?

Jen! My goodness, you're making me want to go on a mad shopping spree, it's unbelievable. I work at H&M here in Montreal and seriously, I've never thought of how good certain clothes look on people! Now I'm going to do a mini-shop before I start work! hehe. :)

BTW - during your entire video, your necklace kept the most of my attention. I really love it! Was wondering where you got them? :D

Hi Jen!I lovee your videos because youre such a genuine and smiley and happy person! (:When I clicked play on your Boston haul video, my eyes immediately drifted over to your nails and my heart fell in love with the color haha ;pSooo, I was wondering which brand it was from & what it's name was. Since nail polishes always have cooky names LOL ;DThanks in advance!
